Shine, heaviness, congestion and even pimples. These are some of the signs that reveal oily skin, and those who suffer from it on a daily basis face an ongoing battle in search of the perfect moisturizing cream† Not to mention so many others that don’t moisturize well to avoid that glossy finish, which is a big mistake. “Oily skin does not need lipid components, but it does need moisture to ensure that the skin remains in optimal condition”, explains Valeria Navarro, technical director of Boutijour. On this basis, cream should always be used, within which there is always a set of ingredients should, while other, more oily components are rejected by these hides. Which ones do and which ones don’t?
Oily skin? These are the ingredients you should use (and the ones you shouldn’t)
†The most important thing is to always keep the skin moist, this will help keep it healthy and juicy, but not heavy. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, urea or allantoin are essential for this,” says the director of education, Raquel González, of Perricone MD.
As for the ingredients that are not so convenient to use, Elisabeth San Gregorio, technical director of Medik8 says: “Lipid components should be avoided† Often there are no problems with them because some are not comedogenic, but they can cause a heavy feeling and it is not pleasant. Oils such as Kukui seed or almond oil, shea butter or avocado and coconut oil…” When the word oil-is the advice to consult an expert, as many of these oils feel dry and can even regulate sebum, as is the case with jojoba.
